European Central Bank forced into rate hikes — short the European stock market
The European Central Bank is preparing to raise interest rates for the first time in years to fight off war-fueled inflation. Higher rates make borrowing more expensive, which tends to slow down business growth.
Idea
The European economy is already fragile, and now their central bank is being forced to raise interest rates to combat inflation caused by high energy costs. When borrowing costs go up, corporate profits usually go down, putting immense pressure on European stock markets. This creates a strong headwind for European stocks in the near term.
